How did/will you modernize your wedding ceremony?

My fiance' and I are working on our ceremony plans. We are keeping it fairly traditional but would like to modernize and break the mold a little bit. 

So I was curious...what non-traditional items were/will be present in your wedding ceremony? And was the result what you expected or were/ may they be "better in theory"?

    Our minister incorporated some humorous things into what he said, and our Recessional was Star Wars music. Other than that, it was pretty by the book. I think too much "odd" stuff would be better in theory, but a little personalization is fine. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    We are having more modern music for the processional, recessional and registry signing.  We are also having a story book reading http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiELDUYnQfA ... we are both elementary school teachers!  FI wants to have 'The Final Countdown' played when he and his GM walk out.  I fought it, but ultimately had to give in.

    We are playing music over speakers rather than having musicians. I think that's really the only "modern" element to our wedding...

    We are walking down the aisle together, we'll have totally modern music (no classical or typical songs), everyone will be standing for it except for a lucky few that will get to sit on white leather couches in the front, the whole thing is in an urban loft space downtown, no wedding party, our ceremony is completely secular, and as soon as the ceremony is done we transition right into the reception with no receiving line.

    p Wow. That's incredibly rude about the seating situation.

    I agree with pp, this is rude to your guests. What if certain guests can't stand for an extended period of time? I'm short and may have difficulty seeing things if people are standing around me. You should strongly consider allowing your guests to be seated or have the option to sit at your wedding.

    My dad is walking me down the aisle but stopping at the end of the seating where he will give me a hug, then my mom will stand up and I will hug her, then I am going to walk the rest of the way to my fiance by myself so to break away from the old tradition of being property that is given away; I like that it symbolizes that I am walking up to stand by his side on my own accord.  We are also having our preache announce us as Mr & Mrs my name and his name (I know it says silly, but I'm still my own person and want my first name said too)

    I walked down the aisle with my dad, but there was no "giving" away. We had Scripture readings by each of our parents in different languages. We each had two guys and two girls as attendants. I haven't taken H's last name, so at the end, the pastor presented us, "As husband and wife, My Firstname and H's Firstname."
